Snow is on its way to Southeastern North Carolina. The area is under a winter storm warning, beginning Tuesday afternoon, and some schools are already altering their sports schedules. Trask and Union will move up their scheduled basketball games to Monday night, while other games have already been postponed.

Hoggard was slated to host rival New Hanover, but New Hanover County schools has cancelled school for Tuesday and Wednesday. Ashley was scheduled to host Topsail. Those games will be made up on Thursday. If school is closed that day, the contests would be moved to Thursday. They could be pushed to Monday if school were closed Wednesday and Thursday. The Laney at South Brunswick games have been rescheduled for Thursday.

Wednesday’s postponements also effect the Mideastern Conference wrestling schedule. Ashley, New Hanover and Hoggard were slated to host their final dual meets of the regular season. Ashley and New Hanover plan to hold their events on Thursday, if possible. Hoggard hasn’t set a reschedule date yet.
